Item type:Publication, Rare-Earth-Doped Y4Al2O9 Nanoparticles for Stable Light-Converting Phosphors(American Chemical Society, 2019-12-24); ; ; ; The ternary mixed metal oxides with high specific surface area are industrially important for sensors, catalysis, energy storage, and optoelectronics. However, synthesis of such metal oxides is always challenging, especially when multicomponent mixtures occur due to very narrow formation temperature windows. Flame spray pyrolysis is one of the best known techniques which enable formation of pure phases optimizing the temperature profile via control over the fuel/oxidizer ratio. Here, Y4Al2O9 (monoclinic phase of yttrium aluminum oxide, also known as YAM) and Y4–xEuxAl2O9 (x = 0.05–1.0) were strategically synthesized with specific precursor–solvent chemistry. While the hydrated yttrium nitrate with 28.2% water was unsuitable for the formation of crystalline Y4Al2O9 particles, the use of organic precursor–solvent combinations (Y/Al 2:1) resulted in 16 nm phase pure, highly crystalline Y4Al2O9 particles. All the materials were characterized by using X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. To develop a stable light-converting phosphor, the Y4Al2O9 host was doped with Eu to investigate the photoluminescence properties of Y4–xEuxAl2O9 (x = 0.05–1.0). The results indicated increased photoluminescence intensity with increasing Eu3+ concentration up to x = 0.5, i.e., Y3.5Eu0.5Al2O9, and a subsequent drop or decrease in intensity for x ≥ 0.7. Hence, Y3.5Eu0.5Al2O9 is proposed for a potential light-converting phosphor.journal articleBand:3Heft:116 12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Phase-selective laser–induced breakdown spectroscopy in flame spray pyrolysis for iron oxide nanoparticle synthesisThe flame spray pyrolysis of iron oxide nanoparticles using the new reference nozzle SpraySyn is a key step towards the understanding of the coupling of physicochemical steps such as precursor atomization, spray evaporation, combustion, particle formation and growth. Owing to the countless available solvents and precursors, systematic investigations are necessary to fully understand the impact of precursor formulation on the reaction route and, hence, the particle properties. In this work, the recently developed phase-selective laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (PS-LIBS) technique is applied to an external mixing spray flame reactor in order to study iron oxide particle formation along the axial centerline of the spray under varying precursor solutions. The addition of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (EHA) to precursors is investigated and significant differences in the evolution of the atomic emission spectra are observed, enabling the differentiation between droplet-to-particle and gas-to-particle routes in situ. The observations from PS-LIBS are in good agreement with TEM images and XRD, where haematite (α-Fe2O3), maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), and magnetite (Fe3O4) were observed. Raman spectroscopy (RS) in particle-free spray-flames revealed a significant gas-phase temperature difference of about ΔT∼500 K under addition of EHA to the spray and demonstrated accurate temperature measurements up to droplet rates of 103 Hz. The experimental results allow deep insights into the spray flame combustion and particle nucleation kinetics. Moreover, they can be coupled with population balance models and be used for the validation of numerical simulations.journal articleBand:38Heft:123 18
